X0' t'OOtt7l
Tbia is the season when Fashion drifts
into a sartorial doldrum, and, her fol
lowers drifting with her, leaven the poor
'fashion writers" with absolutely noth
ing new to record of her vagaries.
Things saftorially'areat a Standstill.
Of course there are all kinds of rumors
as to what will be worn this spring; but
put not your faith in rumors. They are
all utterly unauthentic, for the simple
reason that, at the moment, nobody
knows. The sartorial future is veiled in
mystery, and the modistes and milliners
are abroad on their way to see the mys
tery revealed. ThiB, much is certain,
however, that we who follow when fash
ion beckons should be thankful indeed
that for once there is no hint of that
agitating perennial rumor concerning
the revival of the crinoline and the bus
tle! It has amused me at the begin
ning of many a new season to watch the
persistency with which the "fashion
writers" have reiterated that at last the
crinoline or the bustle, as the case might
be, would flu rely be again worn. This
season it has apparently dawned upon
them, at last that women of fashion ate
not necessarily women without brains,
and that they have progressed altogeto
er too fast and too far ever to turn back
ward to the thraldom that caging their
bodies in wire means. I do hear, and
on good authority, that pleated 6kirtn
with all manner of fullness about the
hips will positively be "the thing" this
spring. But then you heard that last
spring. The fact is that it is the house
nf Paquin that is trying to eetablish the
vogue of full skirts. The first attempt
was made by Paquin some five or six
years ago, and it did not succeed except
with a very limited few. Paquin tried
it again last spring, with only moderate
success, and I question whether this
season his persistency will be any better
rewarded. Women know too much tnese
days to accept tho dictates of any fash
ion maker when it threatens destruction
to the cherished outline of their figure.
The American twentieth century wo
man, with her newly fixed desire to be
individual and graceful, will prove a
much more difficult problem for the
fashion makers to handle satisfactorily
than they have any idea of. I venture
to prophesy that the familiar phrase so
frequently heard hitherto on the lips of
the Parisian modistes, "Oh, anything
will do for the American!'' will shortly
become obsolete. Another rumor that
appears to have some foundation is that
rullled skirts are to be revived. These
skirts are tight-fitting about the hips,
and the ru tiles are cut circular. Some
of the newest cloth skirts are cut to
simulate a triple. Mrs. Alexander S.
Clarke was wearing, just before she
sailed, a very smart gown, in violet cloth,
that was made with a triple skirt. It
fits the hips closely, and is quite plain
and simple to within about twelve inches
of the hem; then it is cut off, slashed up
four or five times and edged with'velvet
of the same color. Two other "skirts"
similarly cut and edged complete the
triple skirt. The latest blouse from
Paris, which arrived only the other day,
is a simple affair of Cluny lace, with a
square little tucked mull guimpe out
lined in gold, and the sleeves are the old
familiar bishop sleeve, quite a bit wider
than we are wearing over here in blouses.
Many of the new hats have arrived and
are being worn, which is a blessing, for
there has been such a run on two or
three favorite models this winter that
one has been bored to death with con
stantly seeing them. The new hats are
mostly very flat, and many of them are
spangled. Mrs. Ollie Belmont is wear
ing one of the best of the spangled hats.
It is not as flat as most of the models,
but is more like a "capote," and the
lines across the back of the hair sre par
ticularly good. It is black, but spangled
in gold, and directly across the front is a
long Rold buckle. Mrs. Willto K. Van
derbilt, Jr., is wearing a copy of Mrs.
Belmont's hat. Mrs. William Page
Thompson wears a very smart hat done
in pale blue tulle. It is exceedingly flat
and quite plain except for some black
thistles, which-are placed on tho side
and spray toward the front. Another
hat, that is already too popular to please
a Modish, is also white, and is in white
tulle, veiled with black tulle, with the
soft folds clasped in the 'rout and again
in the back, with an ornament of black
gauze spangled in gold jnd silver. Mrs.
Arthur Paget is wearing a hat of tur
quoise blue felt that lendsitself to be
ing bent into a quaint outline, and i's
draped with blue tulle caught with a
bunch of pale pink roses, and is quite as
fetching ae any of the very latest bats
one sees that are now being unpacked
and are guaranteed to be "just from
Paris." Lady Modish, in Town Topics.
What "V" Meant.
Many years ago a young fellow enter
ed the freshman class at Amherst col
legea lad with a square jaw, a steady
eye, a pleasant smile, and a capacity for
hard and persistent work. One day,
after he had been in college about a
week, he took a chair from bis room in
to the hall, mounted it, aod nailed over
the dcor a large Equare of cardboard on
which wbb painted a big black letter V.
and nothing else.
College boys do not like mysteries, and
the young man's neighbors tried to make
him tell what the big V meant. Was it
"for luck?" Was it a joke? What was
it? The sophomores took it up and
treated the freshman to some hazing;
but he would make no answer to the
questions they put. At last he was let
alone and his V remained over the door,
merely a mark of the eccentricity of the
occupant.
Four years passed. On commence
ment day Horace Maynard delivered the
valedictory of his class, the highest hon
or the college bestowed. After he had
eft the platform, amid the applause of,
his fellow-students and of the audience
one of his class-mates accosted him:
"Was that what your V meant? Were
you after the valedictory when you tack
ed up that card?"
"Of course," Maynard replied. "What
else could it have been? How else could
I have got it?"
Maynard needed to tack no other let
ters over his door. The impetus he had
gained carried him through life. He be
came a member of Congress, Attorney
General of Tennessee, Minister of Tur
key, and Postmaster General, and adorn
ed every position to which he was call
ed. Youth's Companion.
"Aunt Ann, what ever became of that
pretty niece of youre?"
"She married a man in some kind of
business in one of the big cities out west
He must be prosperous, I guess, for she
writes me she has nothing on earth to
do but just sit in a window all day and
comb her long, beautiful hair." Chi
cago Tribune.
Mrs. Heopeck I wonder how any
body can live in such a place as Chi
"cago! Henpeck One will do almost any
thing to get a divorce. Town Topics.
Mr. Nicefellow What do you think
is the proper age for girls to marry
Miss Lena Oh, about nineteen.
"Indeed! And bow old are you?"
"Oh, about nineteen " Town Topics.
